Every day I come to work, I feel I’m on a mission to uncover and loudly share with the world our guidelines, research, and findings on how to positively improve heart health. While I have a dad and sister experiencing heart issues- I want to be a voice for all people who need our commitment to improving the lives and cardiovascular health of people across the world.

I chose to intern at the American Heart Association with the Office of Health Equity because of the various social justice issues that are being tackled and acknowledged through our programs and projects. As an intern for OHE, my perspective is more than encouraged to ensure that our team and the American Heart Association is welcoming an equity lens to today’s healthcare issues.
